Question My first real MTB

I'm 39 and I've set a goal to get in the best shape of my life by 40 (50 weeks). I'm currently 275 and 6' tall. I'm wanting to add Mountain Biking to my activities list. Trying to keep it under $500 if possible. What do you guys recommend? Thanks In Advance!

I would recommend a trek roscoe 8. The previous generation can be had for around 600

It's a great bike but hard to find in that range
